Cola has increased their employment at the Clayton facility by approximately 100 employees over the last year and have a lot of plans for North Carolina in the future Mr Johnson stated the Johnston County Economic Development Incentive Committee met with company representatives and due to the fact that no new jobs are proposed with the equipment expansion , the Committee is recommending a modified incentive grant for the new equipment investment only at five years , based on the following percentages Year 1 – 50 ; Year 2 – 40 ; Year 3 – 30 ; Year 4 – 20 and Year 5 – 10 Mr Johnson introduced Coca - Cola representative Robert Wheeler who is the company’s Director of Property Tax Planning and Compliance Mr Wheeler thanked the Board of Commissioners for considering the incentive grant for Coca - Cola He reported since the company moved to the Clayton facility , their overall employment has increased and they do not see that changing Mr Wheeler stated the equipment expansion will help Coca - Cola better meet the needs of their customers He offered to answer any questions Commissioner Ted G Godwin asked if the new equipment would displace any existing jobs Mr Wheeler stated the new equipment would not displace any existing jobs and because the equipment is computerized , they may have to hire individuals that are trained in computer systems to run the equipment County Manager Rick Hester stated if the Board chooses to approve an incentive grant based on the Incentive Committee’s recommendation , the total grant to the company would be approximately 40,000 over the five year term Economic Development Advisory Board Chairman Allen Wellons stated Coca - Cola employs approximately 280 people at their Clayton facility making them one of the larger employers in the County HePagePage pageNumber7707 December 2 , 2013 – 10 00 am Continued noted that although the equipment upgrade may not add new employees , it would increase the wage of those employees that would be operating the new equipment There being no further comments , the Chairman closed the public hearing Upon a motion by Commissioner DeVan Barbour , seconded by Commissioner Cookie Pope , and carried unanimously , the Board approved an Economic Development Incentive Grant between the County and Coca -

passenger van being requested is the size they need to meet the ridership capacity Commissioner Chad M Stewart asked who makes the decisions as to when the vans are no longer suitable Commissioner Stewart also asked when a new van is purchased , what happens to the older van Mr Baker stated the Durham VA maintains the vans and they have determined that the expense of maintaining the 2004 van exceeds the cost of a new vehicle He stated the Durham VA approached the Chapter and offered to cost share the new van if the Chapter could fund the 15,000 Mr Baker reported the 2004 van is titled to the Durham VA and once it is surplused , the Durham VA will title the van back to the Chapter Mr Baker stated it is within the Board of Commissioners ’ discretion , but he recommends the funds from the sale of the surplus van come back to the County , although he knows the Chapter would prefer to keep the funds for operating expenses Mr Baker reported once the application is submitted for the new van , it may be a few months before it is approved At the inquiry of Commissioner DeVan Barbour , Mr Baker stated the Chapter discussed whether or not they needed handicap accessibility equipment on the new van and determined that at this time there is not enough demand to require that extra equipment to justify the extra cost involved Mr Baker stated when a veteran needs transport that requires handicap access , the Chapter makes the appropriate arrangements and noted that he has helped transport veterans in his personal vehicle in those situations when needed County Manager Rick Hester stated if the Board chooses to approve the request , he would ask that the funds be allocated from capital outlay Mr Hester stated if the funds are not needed until next budget year , then he could include them as a budgeted item for FY 2014 -
